Abstract

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. Disclosed is a method for providing a data service in a global virtual network provider of a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: determining a wireless network for providing a data service on the basis of at least one of a service type, service quality, and price information required by a user; and transmitting, to a terminal, wireless network information including the determined wireless network, wherein the terminal and the determined wireless network are temporarily connected before the wireless network is determined.

Claims (53)

1. A method for providing a data service by a global virtual network operator (GVNO) device of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), service information including information about at least one of a service type, a service quality, or a service price;

determining a first wireless network to provide a data service to the UE and a second wireless network for a semi-attach of the UE based on the service information; and

transmitting, to the UE, information about the first wireless network and the second wireless network,

wherein the semi-attach is an attach to the second wireless network performed without a bearer establishment between the UE and the second wireless network, and

wherein the second wireless network is a handover candidate network for a handover of the UE based on channel state information for the UE in the first wireless network.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first wireless network is a network to which the UE is subscribed, and

wherein the second wireless network is a network to which the UE is not subscribed.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the semi-attach includes configuration of a key for mutual authentication and data communication between the UE and the second wireless network, and registration of a location of the UE in the second wireless network.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein indication information indicating the semi-attach is transmitted from the UE to the second wireless network.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the channel state information includes a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) information in the first wireless network.

6. A global virtual network operator (GVNO) device of a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive, from a user equipment (UE), user information including information about at least one of a service type, a service quality, or a service price; and

at least one processor configured to:

determine a first wireless network to provide a data service to the UE and a second wireless network for a semi-attach of the UE based on service information, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the UE, information about the first wireless network and the second wireless network,

wherein the semi-attach is an attach to the second wireless network performed without a bearer establishment between the UE and the second wireless network, and

wherein the second wireless network is a handover candidate network for a handover of the UE based on channel state information for the UE in the first wireless network.

7. A method for receiving a data service by a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a global virtual network operator (GVNO) device, service information including information about at least one of a service type, a service quality, or a service price;

receiving, from the GVNO device, information about a first wireless network and a second wireless network, the first wireless network and the second wireless network being determined based on the service information;

receiving the data service from the first wireless network by performing an attach to the first wireless network; and

performing a semi-attach to the second wireless network,

wherein the semi-attach is an attach to the second wireless network performed without a bearer establishment between the UE and the second wireless network, and

wherein the second wireless network is a handover candidate network for a handover of the UE based on channel state information for the UE in the first wireless network.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 ,

wherein the first wireless network is a network to which the UE is subscribed, and

wherein the second wireless network is a network to which the UE is not subscribed.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the semi-attach includes configuration of a key for mutual authentication and data communication between the UE and the second wireless network, and registration of a location of the UE in the second wireless network.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the performing of the semi-attach comprises transmitting, to the second wireless network, indication information indicating the semi-attach.

11. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the channel state information includes a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINK) information in the first wireless network.

12. A user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to:

transmit, to a global virtual network operator (GVNO) device, service information including information about at least one of a service type, a service quality, or a service price,

receive, from the GVNO device, information about a first wireless network and a second wireless network, the first wireless network and the second wireless network being determined based on the service information,

receive the data service from the first wireless network by performing an attach to the first wireless network, and

perform a semi-attach to the second wireless network

wherein the semi-attach is an attach to the second wireless network performed without a bearer establishment between the UE and the second wireless network, and

wherein the second wireless network is a handover candidate network for a handover of the UE based on channel state information for the UE in the first wireless network.

13. The GVNO device as claimed in claim 6 ,

wherein the first wireless network is a network to which the UE is subscribed, and

wherein the second wireless network is a network to which the UE is not subscribed.

14. The GVNO device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the semi-attach includes configuration of a key for mutual authentication and data communication between the UE and the second wireless network, and registration of a location of the UE in the second wireless network.

15. The GVNO device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein indication information indicating the semi-attach is transmitted from the UE to the second wireless network.

16. The GVNO device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the channel state information includes a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) information in the first wireless network.

17. The UE as claimed in claim 12 ,

wherein the first wireless network is a network to which the UE is subscribed, and

wherein the second wireless network is a network to which the UE is not subscribed.

18. The UE as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the semi-attach includes configuration of a key for mutual authentication and data communication between the UE and the second wireless network, and registration of a location of the UE in the second wireless network.

19. The UE as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the second wireless network, indication information indicating the semi-attach.

20. The UE as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the channel state information includes a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) information in the first wireless network.
